• Position Type: Part-Time Consultant / Technical Subject Matter Expert
• Target Allocation: 14–18 hours/week average (Note: Workload is highly concentrated around phase deliverables involving rule modernization, anomaly analytics engine build-out, technical validation, and state acceptance testing).
• Location: Remote (U.S. Based) with periodic travel to Tallahassee, FL as required.

• POC Library Modernization: Evaluate, enhance, and modernize the existing 11-rule baseline POC library to support full enterprise scalability.
• Anomaly Engine Design: Architect transaction-centric anomaly logic, defining data features, risk scoring models, tolerance thresholds, and alert prioritization criteria.
• Machine Learning Optimization: Develop, refine, and deploy supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms where they add measurable validation value over standard deterministic rules.
• Model Explainability & Traceability: Maintain absolute, non-black-box transparency across all algorithms. Ensure every flagged transaction generates clear, human-readable logic explanations and evidence usable by state auditors or Inspector General investigators.
• Rigorous Validation Testing: Establish comprehensive, audit-ready validation datasets to measure, verify, and document model accuracy, false-positive metrics, and rule reproducibility.
• Independent Rerun Support: Provide complete technical documentation, test scripts, and system logs to enable independent OCIG technical validation teams to successfully rerun all anomaly detection routines.
• Drift & Performance Monitoring: Develop and implement automated pipeline criteria for model scoring transparency, versioning control, feature mapping, and data drift detection.
• Value-Realization Analytics: Engineer standardized formulas and methodologies to compute quantifiable oversight impacts, including potential cost avoidance, financial recoveries, identified risk exposure, and investigative referrals.

• Experience Baseline: 10+ years of comprehensive data analytics and data science experience, with 5+ years of dedicated, hands-on machine learning engineering.
• Government Context: Documented history delivering data science, predictive modeling, or advanced analytics solutions within a federal, state, military, or local government framework.
• Core Tech Stack: Advanced, hands-on mastery of Python and SQL for complex data manipulation and engineering.
• Advanced Analytics Toolkit: Deep expertise across supervised and unsupervised learning, classification, clustering, statistical forecasting, and advanced feature engineering.
• Model Calibration: Proven experience in model evaluation, threshold calibration, and exhaustive false-positive or false-negative impact analysis.
• Investigative Translation: Demonstrated ability to translate raw model outputs into defensible, audit-ready forensic evidence rather than merely outputting an unweighted probability score.
• Scientific Reproducibility: Experience producing comprehensive technical artifacts, configuration baselines, and model documentation sufficient for independent third-party replication.
• Domain Expertise: Strong experience working with highly disparate, transaction-level data sets including financial, procurement, contract management, or purchasing card ledger systems.
• Vetting & Location: Must be a U.S.-based citizen or resident. Must be able to successfully clear an FDLE Level II background screening (including fingerprinting) within 5 business days of contract award.

• Prior experience engineering fraud, waste, abuse, improper payment, financial crime, or corporate risk analytics models.
• Working context with data from oversight agencies such as Treasury, FinCEN, CMS, Census, or state-level Medicaid and revenue departments.
• Hands-on production experience utilizing Azure Databricks, MLflow, or Azure Machine Learning within secure Government Cloud environments.
• Deep familiarity with building hybrid detection architectures that seamlessly blend deterministic business rule repositories with machine learning anomaly detection.
• Prior usage of formal model cards, explainability packages, and structured human-in-the-loop validation review workflows.

1. The Government Customer: Explicitly name the agency and the specific system context (e.g., Treasury, DHS, DLA).
2. The Specific Problem: Detail the exact compliance, oversight, or fraud variant the model was designed to detect.
3. The Technical Approach: Name the specific datasets, algorithms, models, and toolsets utilized (e.g., Clustering, SAS Enterprise Miner, Python).
4. Personal Contribution: Detail exactly what you personally engineered, configured, or deployed regarding features, thresholds, or pipelines.
5. Deployment & Validation Status: State the true production or operational status of the project, including the exact validation method used to prove model accuracy.
6. Quantifiable Outcomes: Provide the measurable results achieved, such as false-positive reduction rates, percentage of pipeline reliability, or volume of cost avoidance unlocked.
